Talk:Free Belgian forces

Force Publique arrives in Ethiopia
The date for their arrival is given as June 1940 - can that be right? George Weller is always maddening vague on dates and chronology, but pretty firmly states: "[they attacked Asosa] March 11, just six weeks after the Belgians left the Congo." Which would mean they "left the Congo" (whatever that might mean!) in late January/early February, 1941 and arrived in Abyssinia... two or three weeks later? In any case, June '40 seems much too early. Great article, in general Tomseattle (talk) 01:27, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

R.A.F.
Very good article. I have translated it into French for French Wikipedia. I have just one question. I noticed that, according to the article, the 350th Belgian squadron has been created more or less one year before the 349th. Is this correct? --Lebob-BE 18:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. The dates are correct, I listed the squadrons in numerical order, probably better to put them in the order they were created. W. B. Wilson 03:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Navy
The Navy section here says Free Belgian Navy had two corvettes and a group of minesweepers; does anyone have any information about them? They aren't listed in the books I have access to; Conway just says that what ships the Belgian Navy had (gunboats, fishery protection vessels) were captured by the Germans in 1940.

 * The seven minesweepers are mentioned on p. 17 of Foreign Volunteers of the Allied Forces. Note the minesweepers may have been acquired from another nation like Great Britain after 1940.  Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 08:07, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
